question




I must admit, I'm confused.

I'm trying to read everything I can on the correct methods to use when painting since I don't have the time or money right now to take classes. I have read that I should paint fat over lean, to ensure that the bottom layers dry first to avoid cracking later on. I have also read that you should use many thin layers to create luminosity.

But now you're saying I should start with thick layers of paint? Maybe I'm misunderstanding something? I would really appreciate it if someone could help me to understand this better!

Also, could anyone recommend a good book I can pick up at the library that would fully explain the process with good pictures and details?

Thanks!

Susan
